question from the autograph event in china:
“for kabru, is the country that laios built his new homeland?”
ryoko kui: yes, it’s kabru’s home.

i mean i had a feeling but im glad there is confirmation he’ll stay and grow old in melini
not to be pedantic about this but i admit, it does annoy me so much. please don’t call ryoko kui just ryoko. it’s rude. REALLY rude. you don’t know her like that. if you don’t want to write out her full name, kui has less letters and is more respectful.
“what’s the point? it’s not like she would see it.” the point is you need to get used to this etiquette so you won’t repeat this to other mangaka
shirahama (witch hat atelier) is more active interacting with her fanbase so the prospect of a western fan calling her just “kamome” gives me so, so much secondhand embarrassment.
more info from the autograph event!
apparently, the reason why kabru paused for a long time in this scene was because for a moment, he thought laios was testing him.
sometimes he can be just as awkward as laios💀
from the ryoko kui autograph event
카블루의 본명-> 어릴적에 엄마가 지어 줬는데 카블루가 기억하지 못한다, 성도 제대로 있었다
kabru’s real name -> his mother gave it to him when he was very young, but he couldn’t remember it. he had a surname as well.
i’m assuming he was a toddler when he already started going by kabru (before the utaya tragedy) so him confirmed to not remember his birth name/surname vindicates my theory that “kabru” came from his mother giving it to him to protect him from his father’s family… i wish he could at least remember his surname
important news for dungeon meshi fans
yesterday, there was a ryoko kui autograph event in korea
she has now officially seen this picture:
the person who made this meme showed it to her. if anyone wondered what her reaction was, she was speechless LOL
(on another note, someone wanted to ask if laios was autistic, but her staff sadly blocked it. no source for this because i just heard it from someone else.)
yaad screenshots i'm savoring now because after next week it's gonna be a verrrryyyyy long time until we see him again. my favorite grandpa boy (boy who is a grandpa)
a couple of the characters that oppose the main party are poc so inevitably you get white fans posting violent tweets about them but preface it with “man” or “twink”. maybe this is to be expected of a series inspired by tolkien works
neither of them know it just yet but less than two months from now they're going to be best friends :)
the pitiful life of mr tims
future prime minister kabru isnt something fans pulled out of their asses btw. its greatly implied to happen after yaad dies
modern au pre-relationship farcille (marcille pov)
a few years into the future, falin befriends doni and fionil(a half-elf) on one of her trips and offers to be their surrogate without telling anyone. everyone has mixed reactions when she comes home five months pregnant.
marcille particularly was angry, at first she thought falin had sex w a stranger or someone took advantage of her but none of that happened, it was just IVF. marcille has to learn to deal with falin making her own decisions, even though she thinks she’s too selfless that it’s kind of a flaw. helping take care of her along with laios as she reaches the third trimester, she can’t help but imagine a life like this with her and falls for her more and more
